Whats the best Wheel cleaner out there? I have to wait a while until I can get new wheels and tires for my car. SO, I'm just gonna high polish my stock wheels. Which is the best?

I need something that can break through the break dust easily.

<~~~break rider <_<

thanks

I use FLITZ works excellent, the buffball (as seen on tv) works wonders!

wouldnt the answer to this question depend on the type of wheel? i know with my stock wheels i used some eagle one stuff but with the chrome i use turtle wax chrome polish. the eagle one stuff sprayed on but i have to use a rag to apply the turtle wax stuff.

I agree the Flitz drill attachment works great, but you have to have a drill. :wah:

On my chrome wheels I use "Never Dull" You use a tear-away cotton that is in the can and rub the wheel down...drys to a haze and then wipe off...shines like nothing else I have seen ...even Mothers

I have something by Maguire's for that. It's in a purple spray bottle. I forget the name of it right now, and it's in my car.
